Borrowing of books is down


THE total number of books borrowed from Ribble Valley libraries during the three months to the end of July was 157,882 — more than 1,000 down on the corres­ ponding period last year, when issues numbered 159,102. By contrast, issues fi'om

from Clitheroe Library dropped drastically from 983 to 567.

Bill for cinema repairs may reach £65,000

eight votes to five, will now go before th e Policy and Resources Committee a t i ts next meeting.


In . a detailed report


submitted oy Chief Ex­ ecutive and Town Clerk Mr Michael Jackson, coun­ cillors were told that the Civic Hall cinema made a loss last year of £24J)00 arid that the estimated de­ ficit for this year was about £18,000. Coun. Fred Green


(Wilpshire) said the time had come to take a seri­ ous look at the whole future of the Civic Hall as a cinema. “I am not against the


continuance of the cinema, provided that we can find ways of reducing the heavy losses,” he said. “But a wider range of


activities should be looked for and encouraged, in a bid to make the Civic Hall pay its way.” “Total attendances at


the cinema have dwindled by almost 15,000 over the past two years and I feel I cannot support the spending of all this money to provide cinema viewing for ,a diminishing public which, as I see it, will lead to even higher losses to the ratepayers.” But Coun. Mrs Mary


Bridge (Clitheroe) said the Civic Hall was . a cinema for local people to' be proud of and every­ thing possible should be done to keep it going. Coun. Mrs Barbara


Speak (Clitheroe) said that the policy of not showing X-films encour­ aged family audiences and the standard of films on show was rapidly improv­ ing with new films being shown locally’ as soon as in the bigger towns. “That can only encour­


age more and more people to come along,” she said. Borough Health and


Housing Officer Mr Peter Gladwin told committee members that the rear wall of the building, cur­ rently shored up to pre­ vent movement, is per­ fectly safe at the moment, but said the sooner work


was done, the better.


Good news for young anglers


JUNIOR fishing en­ thusiasts are now allowed to fish the 573 yards of the River Ribble from Edisford Bridge to Sid- dows Wood, the Ribble Valley Council’s Recrea­ tion and Leisure Commit­ tee has decided. A f te r a plea from


Clitheroe councillor Mrs Barbai'a Speak, members decided to lift the restric­ tion on youngsters which has applied since the land was bought by the council I in 1975.' ; “It is unfair that only adults should be allowed to use this stretch of river under the terms of''the council’s fishing permits,” said Coiin. Mrs Speak; “The youngsters, are


just as dedicated and are often hard-pressed to find satisfactory and safe areas in which to fisl;.” ■ It was agreed to lift the


restriction immediately for a trial 12 months.


Bright way to combat vandalism at Castle


THE illumination of Clitheroe Castle grounds at night would be one way of reducing the problem of vandalism, Coun. Brian Braithwaite (Clitheroe) told a meeting of the, Ribble- Valley Council’s' Recreation and Leisure Committee. "He said that since the |


gi'ounds were left open throughout the night, lighting of the pathways would encourage members of the public to use it as a short cut and recreation area, making it much more difficult for vandals to carry out destruction. Deputy Chief Planning


Officer Mr Peter Nock told committee members that vandalism was still costing the council a lot of money in repairs, as well as causing the Parks staff I a great deal of worry. Recent examples of the


vandalism; he said, had included the sabotage of the flag-pole on the Castle keep during the visit of | Princess Margaret, which had involved sawing through padlocks. Coun. Ted Boden


(Chatbum), in the chair in


the absence of chairman Coun. John Walmsley (Mellor) said this inci­


dent indicated that it was certainly not always chil­ dren, who were the cul­ prits. “It is very dishearten­

CHATBURN 2, VICTORU 2


CHATBURN began their- season in Division One of the Ribble Valley Football League in front of a large croivd and in hot- condi­ tions. A draw was a fair result. Both sides appeared to be


evenly matched until Victoria gmned a free kick 20 yards but, and Peter Harrison’s shot seemed to be deflected home. ■Victoria had several chances


to go ahead but did not take advantage of them. Chatbum equalised with a


good move ending with Jim Coleboume heading home from Tony VVaddington’s head-on. The villagers now took the

Approval for bid

AMBITIOUS plans to in­ crease the Ribble Valley’s potential as a major holi­ day centre ai-e included in a tourism strategy docu­ ment published by the North West Tourist Board for consideration by local authorities in the area. The Board is seeking I


approval for a plan to de­ velop new opportunities for attracting tourists and


make cash more readily 1 available for such develop­ ment, while maintaining I and enhancing existing re- | sources. In the Ribble Valley,
